Even More Features for AWS GovCloud (US)

AWS GovCloud (US) is a gated community cloud designed to support the compliance needs of customer workloads with direct or indirect ties to U.S. Government functions, services, or regulations. The AWS GovCloud (US) framework adheres to U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) requirements.

Hot on the heels of my last GovCloud post, I’ve got even more good news today. Two more AWS services are now available for use in AWS GovCloud (US).

If you are part of the US Federal Government, a US state or local government, if you provide services to them, or if you need to follow Federal regulations on Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) data protection, you can now make use of the following services:

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) – Launch database instances running MySQL, Oracle Database, or Microsoft SQL Server and let RDS take care of all of the common database administration and scaling tasks for you.

The BioSense application gives local, state, and federal officials the power to monitor and assess a set of symptoms that, taken together, characterize a disease or other threat to public health.

NIH Microbiome Cloudhttp://www.ncats.nih.gov was established to speed up the basic scientific discovery for patient therapies and treatments. A new website was created on AWS GovCloud (US) to help catalyze the generation of innovative methods and technologies that will enhance the development, testing and implementation of diagnostics and therapeutics across a wide range of human diseases and conditions.
